Has a record of 2-3 on the AW after dominating from the front in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford a month ago; likely to attempt something similar here and he's earned a crack at this level.

Had just one run on Polytrack, routing his rivals in a 1m handicap at Kempton last September off 2lb lower; well beaten in two runs in Dubai (one on dirt) early in the year and two turf runs this summer saw him unplaced too; returns to Polytrack on a reduced mark as a result and there are grounds for expecting much better.

Four-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf but he took his record in this sphere to 0-17 when a creditable fourth of 15 in Epsom handicap (8.5f; good to soft) on reappearance 18 days ago; cheekpieces back on; it's unlikely that a first success on the grass will arrive now.
